Song: Gently ~~ 1985 ~~ 5:30
Artist: Ready For The World
LP/CD: Ruff ‘N’ Ready ~~ MCA ~~ 1985
Composer: Melvin Riley

Lately I’ve been wondering why
You don’t wanna hold me like you did
I know you I’ve told you time before
Confused in mind, but always needing more, yeah

Baby, if I told you how
The feeling is when you are next to me
You probably open up your arms
And let us be the way we ought to be, yeah

But oh, maybe we can start again
And make it what it used to be
And maybe I’m just being foolish
To love you for always

Gently (Gently, gently, gently)
Gently on my mind, yeah
Gently (Gently, gently, gently)
Gently on my mind, yeah

I want to keep you close to me
And never ever let you go away
‘Cause having you means more to me
I’ve got to have your loving every day, hey...

Thoughts of you ring in my mind
Remembering all the things we used to have
Can’t you see it’s you I need
There could never be another love, no

But oh, maybe we can start again
And make it what it used to be
And maybe I’m just being foolish
To love you for always

Gently (Gently, gently, gently)
Gently on my mind, yeah
Gently (Gently, gently, gently)
Gently on my mind, yeah

But oh, maybe we can start again
And make it what it used to be
And maybe I’m just being foolish
To love you for always

Gently
(I think about you all the time)
(I want you here all the time)
Gently on my mind, yeah

Gently
(‘Cause havin’ you here with me)
(Is the way we ought to be)
Gently on my mind, yeah
(Can’t you see)

Gently
(I want you all the time)
(I want you with me all the time)
Gently on my mind, yeah

Gently
